IKier K1 Pro super loud rattling

LightBurn Hardware Compatibility

Hello Lightburn community!

I have this new IKier K1 Pro Laser, which i got from all the good reviews out there on youtube…
For my problem, i already contacted IKier, but they take their time to respond -.-

So i´d like to get some input on whether this is normal, or not (and if the latter, maybe there is an easy fix, or just plain warranty).
The laser is rattling extremely loud when the X axis moves >50mm/s.
See the following video (100mm/s):

What do you think? It´s so loud, i´d consider not using it on sundays and past 10pm…

Thankful for every input!

Best, Tobias

sounds like a harmonic vibration
Try the same project, at 1% power (so it doesnt burn)

then go to MOVE while engraving and increase the speed with the overrides by 10% at a time, does the noise stop?

Alternativly to identify if the problem is more based on fan
Use Fire button just to trigger laser and fan without movement.

Damn. I feel kinda stupid that i didnt think about that myself :wink:
Already ± 2% eliminates the noise mostly!

Thank you very much!

If this is the case it might mean your machine is not 100% seated n the table, wiggle it a bit and see if all 4 legs are touching

The laser is sitting in dampening feet i got from thingiverse (and adapted a bit to fit the k1 feet)
k1Feet
It sits super solid and feels very good “seated” or sitting on the table - no leg in the air :slight_smile:
When it was so loud, i also touched all the parts and it hardly became any better (except for when really hard pressing the X-axis cover, but then the laser cannot move freely anymore ;D - so thats a nono)

But i´m fine with setting up lightburn to not use 100mm/s :slight_smile:
